Combining quality of space <strong>with</strong> quality of motion, DYNAMIC SPACE uses zone planning<br />

to take <strong>kitchen</strong> storage, organisation <strong>and</strong> ergonomics to new levels. At the heart of this<br />

tool is the <strong>kitchen</strong> plan incorporating the following five <strong>kitchen</strong> activity zones:<br />

Consumables<br />

As the name says, this zone contains consumables such as canned<br />

goods, rice <strong>and</strong> pasta as well as refrigerated <strong>and</strong> frozen products. In<br />

simple terms, most grocery shopping is stored here.<br />

Non-Consumables<br />

The activity zone is used to store items such as dishes, glasses <strong>and</strong><br />

cutlery. It is also an ideal location <strong>for</strong> “odds <strong>and</strong> ends” (i.e. stationery,<br />

pens, household papers, etc.)<br />

Cleaning<br />

Cleaning accommodates bins <strong>for</strong> waste collection <strong>and</strong> storage as well as<br />

cleaning agents <strong>and</strong> utensils. The sink <strong>and</strong> dishwasher are also in this zone.<br />

Preparation<br />

The main worktop is in the Preparation zone. This is where most<br />

preparations are made. Items such as <strong>kitchen</strong> utensils, knives, small<br />

electrical appliances, chopping boards, spices <strong>and</strong> mixing bowls are all<br />

located in this zone.<br />

Cooking<br />

This activity zone contains the hob, oven, steamer, microwave, extractor<br />

hood, pots, pans, cooking utensils <strong>and</strong> baking trays.<br />

The Five DYNAMIC SPACE<br />

Principles<br />

1 Planning sufficient storage space<br />

...because storage space is the mostneglected<br />

aspect of <strong>kitchen</strong> planning.<br />

2 Planning in five <strong>kitchen</strong> zones<br />

...because a perfect workflow through<br />

perfect alignment helps to create <strong>your</strong><br />

perfect <strong>kitchen</strong>.<br />

3 Avoiding shelves in lower cabinets<br />

...because drawers <strong>and</strong> pullouts provide<br />

easier access <strong>and</strong> overview, <strong>and</strong> you avoid<br />

straining <strong>your</strong> back.<br />

4 Selecting full extension drawers <strong>with</strong><br />

inner dividing systems<br />

...because easy access, full overview <strong>and</strong><br />

smart drawer organisation make life in the<br />

<strong>kitchen</strong> a lot easier.<br />

5 Using fittings <strong>with</strong> perfect function<br />

...because fittings can provide a truly<br />

emotional experience - you wont’t know<br />

unless <strong>your</strong> try!<br />
